Just weeks after a 7.0 earthquake rocked the island nation of Haiti, the Washington D.C.-based International Center for Journalists (ICFJ) released two essential guides to help journalists better cover disasters and deal with traumatic situations. Some features:

• Practical guidelines for delivering news responsibly while staying safe;
• Tips for creating a disaster preparedness plan for your newsroom;
• Ethical suggestions for journalists working with grief-stricken survivors;
• Tips for journalists dealing with post-traumatic stress;
• Links to other online resources for journalists;
